Today, I released a project that has been 13 years in the making – I am publishing my first book.<\/p>\n

As a freshman in college one of my summer courses required me to write eight papers.\u00a0 However, the professor said that if we chose a massive topic, studied it,\u00a0and wrote about it well, he would let it count for more than one, decreasing the total number of papers due.<\/p>\n

That sounded like a challenge!\u00a0 For my topic, I chose marriage, divorce, and remarriage.\u00a0\u00a0After a summer’s worth of reading, writing, and re-writing, my paper\u00a0was 34 pages long (I was a freshman, remember).\u00a0 It counted for four papers, and I got the grades A, A, A-, and A- for those four papers.<\/p>\n

But I never stopped working on it.\u00a0 For years I have continued to read and study the Bible and other books on this important topic.\u00a0 I have had several people who I trust read various versions of it, helping me tweak it along the way.\u00a0 I have taught it at our church and received valuable feedback from many people.<\/p>\n

Today, I emailed the publisher the manuscript that began in 1994. Today,\u00a0it’s 166 pages long and includes 11 chapters, an appendix, and a full Scripture Index (four pages with three columns each).<\/p>\n

If everything goes correctly, I should have my free copies back in about 15 weeks.\u00a0 It\u00a0should be available publicly for Christmas.\u00a0 I\u00a0understand that\u00a0it\u00a0should retail for $13.99.\u00a0 My book will be listed on Amazon.com, promoted at the annual Christian Booksellers Association convention, and added to the main catalog that every major book retailer uses and the one every library uses.\u00a0 It will also be made available for purchase in the U.K.<\/p>\n

I’m letting you all know this for one main reason: Like this blog and every message and class I teach, my goal is to faithfully help make God’s Word understood<\/span><\/strong>.\u00a0 My goal is the same for this book. Please pray with me that it will be used to change lives all over the world.<\/p>\n

Coming soon –<\/p>\n

Marriage, Divorce, and Remarriage:\u00a0<\/h4>\n

Fresh Help and Hope from the Bible<\/p>\n

Until next time,<\/p>\n
